The complainant has requested information about an investigation into two products: urine sample collection devices. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) disclosed some information and withheld other information that it said was exempt under section 40 (personal data), section 41 (information provided in confidence) and section 44(1)(a) (prohibitions on disclosure) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MHRA has correctly applied section 40, section 41 and section 44(1)(a) to the request and he does not require it to take any further steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
